Aloha, as a Film Producer of several years. One thing that I have learned is that your first impression and image is everything. With so many, scams, cons and wannabes in the entertainment business these days. Everyone sizes up everything about you in a matter of seconds not minutes. So iam very in touch with how I dress, talk and conduct myself when Producing Films. Among the many things you have to prove is that you're not fly by night! Haha.. Especially if you are looking to attract the most talented and profession cast and crew to produce your project.
Weeks before I even arrived in Hawaii, I started my search for space where I could operate my Production Offices from, in order to meet with crew and hold auditions with talent. Now I know you think, how hard is that? Well in the major cities like L.A and New York it's not and at first I assumed in a major city like Honolulu it wouldn't be either. So why then when I arrived I was still looking? It wasn't the place as much as it was the image that the place presented. Honestly the few places I saw didn't fit the image, I like to present as a Film Producer and take into account the travel logistic of traveling around the island, with it's traffic problems. As the new guy in town from New York and the Executive Producer of a Indy Production Company, I needed to really be some where that would give me a established presence. It was almost by accident I discovered Resource Suites simply by being at their location on my way to conduct other business.
What I was really impressed by was the professionalism of there entire staff. They greet you promptly, are interested in answering all your questions or will forward them to the appropriate Staff person who can answer. The decor is very well decorated, the traffic around the office is light, which also allows for the staff to offer you personalized attention. The location, it's prefect to travel to. Right at the begging of Waikiki and theres ample parking. Recently I decided to use their space to hold some auditions for a film that we are producing here in Honolulu. I was able to conveniently, check their calendar for availability, book my office and pay all on the net. Upon showing up, all I had to do was check in with the receptionist who was expecting me and I was lead to my Office for the Day. To find a fully furnished Office, all with new furniture. Yes the photos don't lie! I must admit, even the talent auditioning complemented me on the Office, which coming from them was sincere. As I have also seen my share of not the most Professional Space one can rent.
Resource Suites is the "TOP OFFICE SPACE!", available in Honolulu, for hourly, daily rental. I will be using them regularly doing the production of my next to Film Projects in Hawaii. The highlight of the whole experience, was the sign age they provided for the door to the Office I was using, to identify me I really like that, I didn't even request it so that was above and beyond.
